... day of awesome Calgary weather for a perfect long weekend! And as of today it looks like a chance of a dry awesome Bow80ish weekend...crossing my fingers.
Had a pretty slow Sunday with the intent to ride but started a five minute bike fix (chain swap) and that quickly turned into a full day thing....i road around town thinking it was Saturday and wondering why all bike shops were closed! So the city bike ride was all i got in and now the Superfly is on pause until i can track down a small chainring! Not easy! Butter hey no big deal, i do have my red machine!
So Monday i met up with Mani and Graham with my red bike and had an awesome ride of the Bow race course (minus part of canyon creek and down raceofspades)...another beautiful day out and bike did a good job. Happy day!
Until yesterday ... A quick ride with Toby up Pnuma was the plan ...i got almost up to the first lookout and i was climbing a small steep section and a root I thought id hit and role over instantly stopped me..well the bike...i kept flying (if that is the right word when barely moving) over the handlebars ... When i opened the eyes i just hoped all my fingers lined up...they hurt but phew ..all good! Now pretty embaraced but alone i picked up bike to continue on ...front looked ok so got on but rear felt funny....oh no...wheel taco !... Still not sure how the rear could have hit that hard when coming down...i was climbing very slow!...either way..my last bike is now also on pause!...turned around and carefully road back down the way i came up...
Mission today is to get wheel rebuilt or buy a complete crankset as a chain ring is not anywhere to be found before next weekend...or even better if i also had a bike for Saturday Calgary corporate challenge at COP ...going for gold!
Happy riding!
